When I posted before, there wasn't much to see of the largest AR project happening in San Francisco right now, but it's finally coming together. It's the Ritz Carlton Residences which has done a vertical addition to the old DeYoung Building (the DeYoung family were the founders and long-time owners of the SF Chronicle and endowers of the city's largest art museum, the DeYoung Museum). More importantly, though, this reuse project stripped off the horrid 60's sheet metal fascade to re-expose the DeYoung's glorious brickwork.

The following are my own photos:
